Configuration

Hey @thedanotto, sorry for the confusion. The symbolic link needs to be created to point at your existing vimrc file, whereever that is on your computer. The second argument, .vimrc will always be the same as Vim always looks to the same file, specifically ~/.vimrc for configuration.

As an example:

$ pwd
/Users/christoomey/other-code/vim
$ ls
vimrc
$ cd ~
$ pwd
/Users/christoomey
$ ln -s ~/other-code/vim/vimrc .vimrc

After making the symlink you can confirm it is set by running

$ ls -laFG .vimrc                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
lrwxr-xr-x  1 christoomey  staff  42 Jul  1 11:58 .vimrc@ -> /Users/christoomey/code/dotfiles/vim/vimrc

It should point to the actual file. You can also cat the file from your home dir to confirm.

I’ve also updated the video notes to match the video. Thanks for the heads up on that!
